For me, the only reason for a view port is to monitor the grid heating as you push the system. I have long ago gotten rid of the "oh, look at the pretty star" fascination. Video monitoring is both safe and allows you to view the grid on a 50 inch flat screen is that is your "thing".
Analog metering is fine, but by 2004 I went all digital, when I could buy 4 digit bright red LED 200 millivolt, fixed panel meters for about $20.00 each. I tuned them into my system with dropping and shunting resistors and they are still there today. Such really good 1" tall LED digital panel meters are rare today and when found are more expensive.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
